Shen Yu returned to the courtyard and parked his electric car when Bai Xiaomeng was catapulted into his arms.

"Hey hey, be careful, don't knock this flower ......"

"Meow?"

Bai Xiaomeng was curious, as he had never seen Shen Yu bring flowers to the house since he was old enough, and such a beautiful white and fragile lily.

Shen Yu unzipped his coat and Bai Xiaomeng burrowed inside it, revealing only a large cat's head.

"Does it smell good?"

Shen Yu brings the flower up to Bai Xiaomeng's nose and gives him a sniff, but when he opens his mouth to bite it, he hurriedly takes it away again.

When I went up to the first floor, I pushed open the door and smelled the smell of food.

Asaba Li Xiang, who had cooked a roast chicken tonight and whose oven she had bought some time ago, dropped her work and rushed out when she heard the door open.

At the excitement on her face, Shen Yu thought for a moment that she was going to do what Bai Xiaomeng did and jump on him, even opening her arms subconsciously.

The reserved Li Xiang didn't jump on him, and she had no idea what a rare opportunity she had missed to take advantage of him.

"Shen Yu! You're back!"

"The card you sent me, I super love it! It's really beautiful!"

"You're so sweet! I love the card you made at ...... so much!"

"Eh?! Eh?!!!"

Li Xiang's eyes lit up, she had just finished getting excited and now her emotions were rising again as she excitedly pointed at the lilies that Shen Yu was holding: " Shen Yu, you sent me flowers! It's beautiful!!!"

"I ......"

Shen Yu stole all of her lines. She wanted to say that she was just buying a bouquet of flowers to keep at home, but when she said that, it turned out to be a gift for her.

Seeing how excited she was, Shen Yu couldn't bear to say it wasn't for her.

"I saw ...... it on the way ...... casually and you can take it if you like."

"Aligado!!!"

Li Xiang couldn't wait to take this white flower and put it to her nose and sniff it. Smell is an important tool for her to perceive the world, like this flower, Shen Yu's clothes, street food, whatever she likes, she always has to smell it.

"Is it a lily of the valley?"

"Hmm."

"That's great! How nice!"

From the look on her face, Shen Yu felt she was about to pounce again, and not just to pounce, she was even foolishly tempted to kiss him.

Shen Yu quickly distanced himself from her and carried the flower all the way home from school, still in a daze, feeling that his day had been too abnormal and that his behaviour was influenced by his environment.

But why is the Christmas spirit so strong this year ......

Shen Yu sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV, the programme glowing. He looked like he was watching TV, but in fact he was just looking for a suitable reason to laze around.

Li Xiang found a long, thin glass vase from next to the TV cabinet and inserted the lilies that Shen Yu had given her, adding a little Qing Shui to the bottle.

"When did we get this vase in our house?"

"It's always there, I found it the first few times I cleaned and was thinking of buying flowers back."

Li Xiang said, putting the vase of lilies on the table and feeling especially romantic when he ate with Shen Yu later.

The television was showing an agricultural planting programme, and the presenter was interviewing flower growers who happened to be presenting flowers and plants:.

"This year's flower and plant market is good, it is almost Christmas, I have received a lot of orders, the largest single amount of roses, it is the voice of love, followed by lilies orders are also quite a lot, a hundred years of good together, innocent and pure, many girls like this ......"

When the screen went black, Shen Yu switched off the TV.

"Huh? Shen Yu doesn't watch TV anymore?"

"Don't watch it, it's all a muddle, Xiaomeng I. Play some songs and listen to them ......"

Then Xiaomeng I played Christmas carols and Li Xiang listened to them while preparing dinner, humming along rhythmically, while the house was decorated with lights and ribbons, creating a cheerful Christmas atmosphere.

"Shen Yu, you should wear a Christmas hat too."

"I don't wear it."

"Come on, come on, it's cute, just this once this year, okay? I used to wear Christmas hats at home and Mum and Dad used to wear them too."

While the pudding was steaming, Li Xiang came out to put on her Christmas hat, which looked very cute.

Shen Yu is also wearing a Christmas hat and Bai Xiaomeng is wearing a Christmas hat.

Su Zhifu came over and put on his Christmas hat and got a stocking of sweets and ran home with great joy.

It is often the night before a festival that is the liveliest, such as New Year's Eve, and even though the first day of the year is the Chinese New Year, to many people, the first day of the year is already the second day of the New Year.

It was also a lively night, as it was cold outside, so Shen Yu and Li Xiang didn't go out and spent Christmas Eve together at home tonight.

At seven o'clock, it was time for dinner.

Li Xiang made a roast chicken with dried fruit pudding and a drink of fresh orange juice.

The dried fruit pudding is a dessert that took Li Xiang quite some time to make for the first time.

Shen Yu took a knife and wore disposable gloves and cut a chicken leg for Li Xiang, knowing that she wouldn't eat the skin, and helped her peel it into her bowl.

"Nah."

"Hee hee."

Li Xiang took the chicken leg and ate it in small bites, her big eyes glancing at Shen Yu.

"Shen Yu looks so cute in his Christmas hat."

Listening to her words, Shen Yu almost cut his hand with a crooked knife and said breathlessly, "Can you stop using cute to describe me?"

"Kawaii?"

"Eat and don't talk."

"Hmph~"

Li Xiang raised his glass: " Shen Yu, let's drink!"

Shen Yu then raised his glass and gently clinked it with her, tilted his head and gulped down the orange juice, before she got up to refill his glass like a little daughter-in-law.

"Shen Yu, why don't we go to the movies tomorrow night? It's Christmas tomorrow, let's go out, then get some rest, I'm going back to Yokohama ......"

Shen Yu wanted to say no when she heard that she was going to watch a movie or something, but when she finally said that she was going back to Yokohama after she woke up, she suddenly softened her heart, because she had promised to spend Christmas with her, so she had to make her happy.

"Well ......"

"Shen Yu Won't you ask what the film is?"

"What film?"

"You'll love it, it's that sci-fi movie that's been getting high ratings lately, it's about interstellar travel, I've booked tickets online, we'll go see it together tomorrow."

Shen Yu froze, the science fiction movie of interstellar travel, he was quite interested, and raised his eyes to look at her again, "I don't think you like watching this, why did you order this ......"

"I love it too. ......"

"Watch out for the long nose."

Shen Yu didn't say anything else, she picked his favourite movie to watch with him, which made Shen Yu feel more and more that this Christmas was not actually spent by him with her, but by her staying with him.

All these lights and ribbons in the house, the roast chicken and pudding on the table, the Christmas hat on the head ...... This hilarity is all from her.

After dinner, Shen Yu accompanied her to clean up the dishes. Although she kept saying no, this time Shen Yu insisted to stay and wash the dishes with her.

It was only then that Shen Yu noticed that some jars in the kitchen had somehow been labelled with sticky notes, and he curiously picked up a can containing pickled radishes to see.

"Soak them in Qing Shui for 10 minutes, and don't put salt in them when you fry them! Otherwise it will be very salty!

Pick up the spice jar again: "Sugar on the left, salt in the middle, MSG on the right, for a dish, half a spoonful of salt will do! (_-)-☆"

And the soy sauce and the soy sauce: "This is the soy sauce, you usually use this for stir-fry (????)".

There are many other spice jars, almost always with a little sticky note on top saying what this is for and how much to put in if you are going to use it.

Li Xiang has been cooking Chinese food for almost four months and knows all the spices and sauces by heart, so she can only post them for him.

She didn't say a word, yet she had the nagging look of a little virtuous wife about to leave on a long trip.

It wasn't until Li Xiang behind him turned around and saw him that he whispered to him and explained, "I was afraid that Shen Yu wouldn't know how to use it if he had to cook ......"

If it was before, Shen Yu would have said he eats takeaway and he really hasn't cooked, but this time, he said, "So when I don't know how to use it, can't I call and ask you ......"

Li Xiang froze: "Eh? Shen Yu, do you want to call me? Of course you can! I'll, we'll video together! I'll teach you! I'm very careful!"

"It's such a hassle ...... might as well have a takeaway ......"

Shen Yu said and walked out, Li Xiang pinched the corner of his shirt and begged him, "Oh no, auntie said it's not good to eat too much takeaway, just call me, I'm super free to go back, OK ......"

With the corner of her coat pinched and her weaknesses pinched to death, Shen Yu couldn't say a bad word.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Li Xiang mysteriously enters the room and comes out with her hands behind her back, while Shen Yu pretends to watch TV without looking at her.

"Look at me! Look at me!"

Then she popped up in front of the TV and blocked his view from watching it.

"Why ......"

"Hehehe, Shen Yu, Merry Christmas!"

As she said this, she took out the gift she had hidden behind her and brought it to Shen Yu.

"Nah~! Here you go!"

It is a beige knitted scarf tied with a red coloured ribbon.

"I knitted this with my own hands oh, try it on ......"

Without waiting for Shen Yu to say no, she came up and helped him wrap his scarf around him.

I don't know if it was the intimate way she wrapped his scarf around him or the fact that she smelled her when she got close, but Shen Yu blushed in a rare way and his eyes dodged to look at her.

The scarf is soft, warm and has a faint scent ......

Shen Yu smelled it gently and thought it smelled good, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"You perfumed the scarf?" Shen Yu said curiously.

"No ...... no wow, I smoked it with a special spice, does it smell good ......" Li Xiang stammered.

Li Xiang spent every night under the covers knitting scarves and sleeping with them close to her, so they naturally took on her body scent, which smelt faintly of milk and was particularly pleasant.

Shen Yu is not a dog, so she can't tell the difference, but it smells familiar and seems to be the same as her body.

"It's OK ......"

As he was rubbing his hand over the soft scarf and smelling it with fascination, her small hand appeared in front of him, " Shen Yu, where is my present?"

"I'll give it to you later, you take a shower first."

"So mysterious ...... ouch, Shen Yu don't smell it ...... you, you really do have a hobby of smelling strange smells too!" Li Xiang blushed a little.

"You're the sickest, you keep your mouth shut."

Li Xiang is an old pervert, Shen Yu does not bother with her, who does not like to smell ah, not like her, to smell the girl's body, smell the scarf can also be called pervert.

"What a spice, it smells quite light but does have a bit of Xiang Xiang in it ......"

"Not telling you!"

Li Xiang ran back to her room to get a change of clothes and went to take a shower.

When she was not around, Shen Yu went back to his room and put the scarf she gave him on his pillow, then opened his wardrobe and took out an oversized stuffed bear that he had bought a few days ago to hide from her.

After placing Fluffy Bear on the bed, he then took off his jacket and then the original jumper underneath and put it on Fluffy Bear.

And then finally took this furry bear in his jumper to her room and put it on her bed ......

Warm, huggable, very cute, plush and smells like him ...... All the conditions are met, love this gift!

When Li Xiang came out of the shower, he didn't see Shen Yu, and seeing the door to his room closed, he looked curiously, wondering what he was doing in there, preparing a gift?

She walked into the room, saw the oversized furry bear on the bed and her eyebrows immediately lit up, " Kawaii!"

Li Xiang hugged the fur bear, there was a jumper, she naturally recognized it as Shen Yu's jumper, so she buried her face in it, closed her eyes and sniffed lightly, satisfied ......

How can you call it a perversion when you like to smell the boy you like.

Taking out his phone, he sent him a message, " Shen Yu, you are so nice!!!"

A girl can hardly resist these huge, warm, cuddly and very cute plush bears, and the best part is that they smell like she likes them, and they feel just like Shen Yu when you hug them.

At night, the denim jacket doesn't smell as good as it did before, and Li Xiang has a new love and sleeps happily cuddled up to her furry bear.

She slept on the inside of the bed against the wall, letting the hairy bear sleep on the outside, and brought him a pillow and covered him with a little quilt, so she slept with him in her arms, imagining it was Shen Yu, with her head on his chest and a little white leg to pin on him for good measure.

"I told you not to let me touch my belly, so I'll do it, just do it! Hmph ......"

Her little hand swished up inside her jumper and jerked it up, giggling and scratching at the fur bear's belly because Shen Yu wouldn't let her put her hand under his shirt, and now she was getting her revenge.

......

It is late at night.

Shen Yu finished his shower, went back to his room and lay down on the bed.

After the lights were turned off, the room was dark.

He sniffed lightly at the ethereal scent on his pillow and gently grabbed the scarf Li Xiang had given him and pulled it over his face ......

The scent is ethereal, very faint and faint, and Shen Yu ponders what the spice is and drifts off to sleep.

Tonight, he did not lose any more sleep.
